RULINGS  OF  THE  TREASURY  DEPARTMENT  AS 
TO  THE  CONSTRUCTION  OF  THE  ACT  OP  CON- 
CRESS  OF  MARCH  2,  1887,  ESTABLISHING  AGRI- 
CULTURAL EXPERIMENT  STATIONS. 


Prom  copies  of  letters  addressed  to  the  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury,  and  others,  by  the  First  Comptroller  of  the 
Treasury,  relating  to  the  construction  of  the  act  of  Con- 
gress of  March  2,  1887,  and  acts  supplementary  thereto, 
the  following  digest  has  been  prepared  for  the  use  of  the 
stations.  The  sections  are  those  of  the  act,  the  dates, 
those  of  the  decisions  by  the  Comptroller: 

(Section   3.     January  30,  1888.) 

That  the  annual  financial  statement  of  the  stations, 
with  vouchers,  should  not  be  sent  to  the  Treasury  Depart- 
ment, but  that  a  copy  simply  of  the  report  that  is  made  to 
the  governor  is  to  be  sent  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Treas- 
ury. 


Federal  Laivs  21 

(Section  3.     January  31,   1888.) 

First.  That  the  Treasury  Department  will  not  require 
officers  of  experiment  stations  to  do  or  perform  anything 
not  specifically  required  by  said  bill. 

Second.  That  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  is  not  re- 
quired to  take  a  bond  of  the  officers  of  said  stations  for 
the  money  paid  over  under  the  provisions  of  said  act. 

Third.  That  no  reports  will  be  required  from  the  sta- 
tions directly  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury;  but  the 
governor  of  the  state  must  send  to  the  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury  a  copy  of  the  report  made  to  him  by  the  colleges 
or  stations. 

(Section  5.     March  4,  1887.) 

"Congress  only  intended  by  the  expression  'the  sum  of 
fifteen  thousand  dollars  is  hereby  appropriated  to  each 
state,'  to  fix  the  amount  that  could  be  specially  provided 
for  by  Congress  in  appropriations  from  year  to  year. 
Hence  I  conclude  that  section  five  does  not  make  an  appro- 
priation ;  but  that  the  same  must  be  specially  provided  for 
by  Congress. " 

(Sections  5  and  6.     March  10,  1888.) 

(1)  The  appropriations  are  intended  for  the  fiscal 
year  and  not  the  calendar  year. 

(2)  The  first  annual  report  should  be  made  on  or 
before  the  1st  day  of  February,  1889,  and  said  report 
should  include  simply  the  operations  of  the  preceding 
fiscal  year,  not  down  to  and  including  December  31,  but 
up  to  and  including  June  30,  1888. 

(3)  The  balance  unexpended  at  the  end  of  the  fiscal 
year,  the  30th  of  June  preceding  the  report,  must  be  ac- 
counted for  in  the  report. 

(4)  The  one-fifth  proviso  for  building  in  section  five 
can  be  made  out  of  the  first  annual  appropriation,  to-wit, 
that  which  commences  on  the  1st  day  of  July,  1887,  and 
terminates  on  the  30th  of  June,  1888. 

(5)  The  intention  of  Congress  was  to  make  quarterly 
payments,  not  in  advance,  but  at  the  end  of  each  quarter. 

(Section  5,  proviso.     March  22,  1888.) 

*'I  have  been  informed  that  there  is  no  farm  connected 
with  the  agricultural  college  in  Delaware.  The  act  pro- 
vides that  one-fifth  of  the  amount  appropriated  can  be 


22  University  of  Wisconsin 

expended  in  the  creation,  enlargement,  or  repair  of  a 
building  or  buildings  for  carrying  on  the  work  of  the 
station  receiving  the  appropriation.  I  am  in  doubt 
whether,  with  this  qualification,  out  of  the  balance  of  the 
appropriation  a  farm  could  either  be  purchased  or  rented. 
Another  question  in  my  mind  is  as  to  the  competency  of 
the  legislature  which  was  in  session  at  the  date  of  the 
passage  of  the  act  to  accept,  as  it  assumed  to  do,  of  the 
provisions  of  the  act,  the  ninth  section  of  which  provides 
that  'Payment  of  such  installments  of  the  appropriation 
herein  made  as  shall  become  due  to  any  state  before  the 
adjournment  of  the  regular  session  of  its  legislature  meet- 
ing next  after  the  passage  of  this  act  shall  be  made  upon 
the  assent  of  the  governor  thereof  duly  certified  to  the 
Secretary  of  the  Treasury.'  " 

(Section  6.     April  24,  1888.) 

At  the  end  of  the  present  fiscal  year,  to-wit,  June  30, 
any  portion  of  the  $15,000  which  shall  have  been  received, 
up  to  and  including  the  payment  made  on  the  first  day  of 
July,  which  is  unexpended,  or  which  may  not  be  necessary 
to  pay  claims  under  contracts  made  for  the  benefit  of 
said  agricultural  station,  must  be  deducted  from  the  next 
annual  appropriation,  as  specified  in  said  sixth  section. 

(Section   6.     August  2,   1888.) 

The  fiscal  year  commences  on  the  1st  day  of  July,  cor- 
responding with  the  fiscal  year  of  the  government. 

An  agricultural  station  entitled  to  the  benefits  of  said 
appropriations  made  by  Congress  can  anticipate  the  pay- 
ment to  be  made  July  1,  and  make  contracts  of  purchases 
prior  to  that  time,  if  it  shall  be  necessary  to  carry  on  the 
work  of  the  station.  Of  course  no  portion  of  said  appro- 
priations paid  in  quarterly  installments  can  be  drawn 
from  the  Treasury  unless  needed  for  the  purposes  indi- 
cated in  the  act ;  and  so  much  of  what  is  so  drawn  as  may 
not  have  been  expended  within  the  year  must  be  accounted 
for  as  part  of  the  appropriation  for  the  following  year. 

(Section  8.     January  30,  1888.) 

The  state  of  New  York  ought  to  designate  whether  to 
the  college  or  to  the  station,  or  to  both,  it  desires  the 
appropriation  to  be  applied.  The  eighth  section  of  the 
act  seems  to  aiithorize  the  state  to  apply  such  benefits  to 


Federal  Laws  23 

experimental  stations  it  may  have  established  as  it  de- 
sires. 

Where  there  are  no  experimental  stations  connected  with 
the  colleges,  the  legislatnres  of  such  states  must  connect 
the  agricultural  experiment  stations  with  the  colleges 
already  established  under  the  act  of  July  2,  1862 ;  there  is 
no  authority  in  the  act  authorizing  the  establishment  of 
agricultural  experiment  stations  independent  of  said  col- 
leges. 

The  act  contemplates  that  where  stations  have  already 
been  established  disconnected  from  the  colleges,  the  legis- 
latures of  such  states  may  take  such  provisions  in  regard 
thereto  as  they  may  deem  proper:  but  it  does  not  author- 
ize the  establishment  of  stations  except  in  connection  with 
the  colleges  that  were  at  that  time  or  might  thereafter  be 
established  under  the  act  of  July  2,  1862. 

(Section  8.     February  14,  1888.) 

Where  there  is  an  agricultural  college  or  station  which 
may  have  been  established  by  state  authority,  and  is  main- 
tained by  the  state,  the  eighth  section  of  the  above  act 
would  authorize  the  state  to  designate  the  station  to  which 
it  desired  the  appropriation  to  be  applied,  whether  to  one 
or  more,  or  all.  and  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  should 
make  the  payment  under  the  appropriation  to  whichever 
one  the  state  might  designate. 

(Sections  1  and  8.     February  15,  1888.) 

(1)  When  an  agricultural  college  or  station  has  been 
established  under  the  act  of  July  2,  1862,  each  college  is 
entitled  to  the  benefits  of  the  provisions  of  said  act  {i.  e., 
of  March  2,  1887.) 

(2)  In  a  state  where  an  agricultural  college  has  been 
established  under  the  act  of  July  2,  1862.  and  agTicultural 
stations  have  also  been  established,  either  under  the  act 
of  July  2,  1862,  or  by  state  authority,  before  ]\Iarch  2, 
1887.  the  legislature  of  such  state  may  determine  which 
one  of  said  institutions,  or  how  many  of  them,  shall  re- 
ceive the  benefits  of  the  act  of  March  2,  1887. 

(3)  If  the  legislature  of  any  state  in  which  an  agricul- 
tural college  has  been  established  under  the  act  of  July  2, 
1862,  desires  to  establish  an  agricultural  station  which 
shall  be  entitled  to  the  benefits  of  said  act  it  must  estab- 
lish such  station  in  connection  with  said  college. 


24  University  of  Wisconsin 

(Proviso  to  Section  1  and  Section  8.  December  7,  1888.) 
It  is  within  the  power  of  the  legislature  of  any  state 
that  has  accepted  the  provisions  of  said  act  of  March  2, 
1887,  to  dispose  of  the  anxount  appropriated  by  Congress 
for  said  station  to  either  one  or  all  of  the  agricultural 
colleges  or  stations  which  may  have  been  established  in 
said  state  by  virtue  of  either  the  provisions  of  the  act  of 
July  2,  1862,  or  the  provisions  of  said  eighth  section  of 
the  act  of  March  2,  1887. 

The  whole  responsibility  rests  upon  the  state  legislature 
as  to  how  the  fund  appropriated  by  Congress  shall  be 
distributed  among  these  various  institutions  of  the  state, 
provided  there  is  one  or  more  agricultural  colleges  with 
which  an  agricultural  station  is  connected,  or  one  or 
more  agricultural  stations. 

(Section  8.     January  28,  1889.) 

The  act  of  the  state  of  Georgia  in  authorizing  the  gov- 
ernor to  receive  the  fund  to  which  the  state  may  be 
entitled  under  the  act  of  March  2,  1887,  is  not  in  conflict 
with  any  of  the  provisions  of  said  act.  If  a  state  has 
established  an  agricultural  college  or  station  under  the 
act  of  July  2,  1862,  or  if  it  has  established  an  agricultural 
station  in  connection  with  said  college,  as  provided  in  the 
eighth  section  of  March  2,  1887,  the  legislature  can  author- 
ize some  person  or  persons  to  receive  the  money  donated 
by  the  government  and  direct  its  application  in  such  a 
way  and  manner  as  it  seems  best  to  carry  out  the  objects 
and  purposes  of  said  acts  of  Congress  to  either  the  col- 
leges or  the  station,  or  to  both. 

(Section  9.     February  4,  1888.) 

It  appears  by  the  statement  of  Representative  Blount 
that  there  was  a  session  of  the  legislature  of  the  state  of 
Georgia  after  the  passage  of  the  act,  and  before  the  first 
payment  became  due,  October  1,  1887,  and  which  did  not 
adjourn  until  after  that  time.  That  being  the  case,  under 
the  proviso  of  the  section,  the  governor  of  the  state  can 
not  assent  to  that  payment  which  was  to  be  made  October 
1,  1887.  The  legislature  having  adjourned  before  the 
second  payment  became  due,  without  accepting  the  pro- 
visions of  the  bill,  no  further  payment  can  be  made  to 
said  state  until  the  legislature  thereof  shall  have  accepted 
the  provisions  of  the  bill.     You  will  observe,  the  language 


Federal  Laws  25 

of  the  proviso,  "that  payments  of  the  installments  of  the 
appropriation  herein  made  as  shall  become  due  to  any 
state  before  the  adjournment  of  the  regular  session  of  its 
legislature"  applies,  certainly,  only  to  such  installments 
as  become  due  before  the  final  adjournment.  The  idea 
seems  to  be  to  give  the  legislature  the  full  time  before  it 
adjourns  to  accept  the  provisions  of  the  bill  or  not :  but 
it  is  plain  to  my  mind,  that  only  such  payments  as  become 
due  before  the  adjournment  of  the  legislature  can  be 
accepted  by  the  governor  of  the  state. 


REGULATIONS  OF  THE  POSTOFFICE  DEPART- 
MENT FOR  THE  FREE  TRANSMISSION  IN  THE

of  its  officers,  the  name  of  the  university,  college,  school, 
or  institution  to  which  it  is  attached,  if  any,  the  legisla-

ment, and  any  other  granting  it  the  benefits  of  the  pro- 
vision made  by  Congress  as  aforesaid  (accompanied  by  a 
copy  of  the  act  or  acts) .  and  whether  any  other  such  sta- 
tion in  the  same  state  or  territory  is  considered,  or  claims 
to  be,  also  entitled  to  the  privilege :  and  also  the  place  of 
its  location  and  the  name  of  the  po.stoffice  where  the  bulle- 
tins and  reports  will  be  mailed.  The  application  must  be 
signed  by  the  officer  in  charge  of  the  station. 

(2)  If  such  application  be  allowed  after  examination 
by  the  department,  the  postmaster  of  the  proper  office 
will  be  instructed  to  admit  such  bulletins  and  reports  to 
the  mails  in  compliance  with  these  regulations,  and  the 
officer  in  charge  of  the  station  will  be  notified  thereof. 

(3)  Only  such  bulletins  and  reports  as  shall  have  been 
issued  after  the  station  became  entitled  to  the  benefits  of 
the   act   can   be   so   transmitted    free:    and   thev  must   be

of  easy  and  thorough  examination.  On  the  exterior  of 
the  envelope  or  wrapper  must  be  written  or  printed  the 
name  of  the  station,  and  the  place  of  its  location,  the 
designation  of  the  enclosed  bulletin  or  report,  and  the 
word  "free"  over  the  signature  of  the  officer  in  charge  of 
the  station,  to  be  written  by  himself  or  by  some  one  duly 
deputed  by  him  for  that  purpose.  If  any  other  matter, 
printed  or  written,  be  added,  the  whole  will  be  unmailable 
free. 

(4)  The  bulletins  may  be  mailed  to  the  stations,  news- 
papers, or  persons  to  whom  they  are  by  the  foregoing  act 
authorized  to  be  sent,  and  the  annual  reports  to  any 
address  within  the  United  States.

mies and  colleges,  or  for  the  accomplishment  of  the  trust 
hereby  reposed  in  such  visitors,  to  appoint  a  president,

Section  7.  This  law  may  be  repealed  or  modified  by  the 
legislative  powel*  of  this  territory:  provided,  that  such

purposes  than  those  expressed  therein  if  any  shall  be  ex- 
pressed in  any  grant  of  property  to  such  corporation;  but 
such  property  in  the  event  of  the  dissolution  of  such  cor- 
poration, or  in  case  such  grant  shall  be  disapproved  of  by 
the  legislative  power,  shall  revert  to  the  grantor  or  his

If  such  loss  shall  consist  in  the  failure  to  collect  any  in- 
vestment, the  amount  thereof  shall  be  apportioned  to  and 
debited  to  the  several  trust  funds  in  accordance  with  the 
relation  of  the  principal  of  each  to  the  aggregate  of  the 
whole,  as  hereinafter  provided  for  apportionment  of  in- 
come, except  in  such  cases  as  the  same  shall  be  taken  from 
the  income  and  charged  to  ''The  University  Trust  Funds 
Income"  by  order  of  the  Board. 

Upon  the  receipt  of  the  State  Treasurer's  statement 
made  at  the  close  of  the  30th  day  of  June,  of  each  year, 
the  Secretary  shall  charge  to  "The  State  Treasurer's 
University  Trust  Funds  Income,"  the  net  amount  of  an- 
nual income  derived  from  all  the  investments  of  the 
trust  funds  and  shall  at  the  same  time  apportion  and 
credit  to  the  several  income  accounts  of  the  several  trust 
funds  such  share  of  the  total  net  income  as  the  amount 
of  principal  of  each  of  said  trust  funds  as  shown  by  the 
balance  thereof  on  the  first  of  the  fiscal  year  then  closed

trust  funds  on  that  date,  due  computation  being  entered 
on  the  journal.  Payments  made  out  of  the  income  of 
the  several  funds  shall  then  be  debited  to  such  respective 
fund  income  and  credited,  upon  warrant  drawn,  to  the 
"State  Treasurer's  University  Trust  Funds  Income;"  so 
that  the  balance  standing  to  the  debit  of  the  latter  account 
will  always  be  equal  to  the  aggregate  of  the  balances 
standing  to  the  credit  of  the  several  trust  funds  income 
accounts;  and  the  balance  standing  to  the  debit  of  "The 
State  Treasurer's  University  Trust  Funds"  and  to  the 
debit  of  "The  State  Treasurer's  University  Trust  Funds 
Income"  will  always  show  the  balance  of  moneys  in  his 
hands  belonging  to  the  University's  Trust  Funds  and  the 
produce  thereof  and  thus  be  kept  distinct  and  separate 
from  the  general  accounts  of  the  University. 

Section  3.  Payments  from  the  income  of  each  of  the 
several  trust  funds  mentioned  in  Section  1,  except  the 
Adams  Fellowship  Fund,  shall  be  made  annually  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  law  governing  the  respective  fund  as 
hereinafter  provided;  but  no  payment  shall  be  made 
until  the  income  shall  have  been  realized  and,  upon  the 
statement  of  the  State  Treasurer,  credited  to  the  proper 
income  account.  Such  part  of  the  income  derived  on 
account  of  the  Charles  K.  and  Mary  M.  Adams  Fellow- 
ship   Fund,    as    required    by    the    Wills    by    which    said 


By-Laws  of  Regents  99 

fund  was  bequeathed,  shall  be  immediately  trans- 
ferred to  the  capital  of  said  fund,  and  for  that  pur- 
pose immediately  upon  the  receipt  thereof  the  proper 
amount  shall  be  certified  to  the  Secretary  of  State  who 
«hall  draw^  his  warrant  for  the  transfer  thereof  from  ' '  The 
University  Trust  Funds  Income  Account"  to  "The  Uni- 
versity Trust  Funds"  and  proper  entries  shall  be  made 
by  the  Secretary  upon  the  accounts  aforesaid  on  the  books 
of  the  University  to  show  the  same  by  crediting  the  pro- 
portionate share  of  income  accruing  to  that  fund  to  the 
capital  of  said  fund  and  by  debiting  the  "State  Treas- 
urer's University  Trust  Funds"  with  the  amount  thereof. 

Section  4.  All  loans  and  investments  of  moneys  be- 
longing to  the  trust  funds  shall  be  made  by  the  Committee 
on  Trust  Funds  and  Donations,  from  time  to  time  as 
moneys  may  be  in  the  hands  of  the  State  Treasurer 
therefor,  and  the  same  shall  be  certified  to  the  Secretary 
of  State  in  the  manner  required  for  the  certification  of 
accounts  so  that  the  proper  warrant  may  be  drawn  there- 
for upon  the  Treasurer.  For  this  purpose,  the  Committee 
on  Trust  Funds  and  Donations  may  make  such  certifica- 
tion at  any  convenient  time  and  obtain  the  money  when 
necessary.  A  note  of  every  such  transaction  shall  be 
entered  in  their  recorded  minutes;  and  they  shall 
promptly  place  in  the  custody  of  the  State  Treasurer  all 
securities,  abstracts  and  other  papers  received  for  every

due  on  account  of  the  said  trust  funds :  and  in  any  and 
every  such  case,  they  may  by  resolution  enter  on  their 
minutes,  require  and  authorize  the  President  and  Secre-

who  shall  hold  office  for  one  year,  or  until  the  appoint- 
ment of  his  successor,  and  who  shall  keep  a  full  record 
of  their  proceedings.  They  shall  provide  for  such  com- 
mittees and  make  such  rules  and  regulations  in  regard  to 
their  own  proceedings  as  in  their  judgment  are  called 
for  by  the  best  interests  of  the  University. 

4.  The  regular  meetings  of  the  faculty  shall  be  held

meetings  as  he  may  be  directed. 

5.  Subject  to  the  laws  and  by-laws  of  the  Regents, 
under  the  laws  of  the  state,  the  University  Faculty  shall

University  rules,  or  other  misconduct,  and  the  adminis- 
tration of  discipline  to  any  students  who,  after  due  exami- 
nation, may  be  found  guilty  of  misconduct. 

The  faculty  may  delegate  the  investigation  of  all  cases 
of  discipline  to  a  faculty  committee  on  discipline  including 
the  Dean  or  Deans  of  the  College  or  Colleges  of  which  the 
accused  students  are  members.  Such  committee  may  exer- 
cise the  full  powers  of  the  faculty  in  reference  to  suspen- 
sion until  the  next  meeting  of  the  faculty,  and  may  make 
recommendations  in  reference  to  expulsion.  All  actions 
of  the  discipline  committee  are  subject  to  appeal  to  the 
faculty,  but  pending  such  appeal  the  student  may  remain 
suspended  at  the  discretion  of  the  committee.  Any  action 
of  the  discipline  committee  involving  censure  or  punish- 
ment of  any  student  shall  be  reported  at  once  to  the  parent 
or  guardian  of  such  student,  if  not  twenty-one  years  of 
age  and  self-supporting,  and  to  the  President  of  the  Uni- 
versity, who  shall  transmit  the  report  to  the  Executive 
Committee,  or  to  the  Regents  at  the  next  reoiilar  meeting

President  of  the  University,  for  presentation  to  the 
Regents,  a  record  of  all  action  of  the  University  Faculty,

Regents,  or  which  in  any  essential  way  departs  from  the 
established  routine  and  methods  of  the  University.

versity Faculty,  but  which,  from  its  nature,  requires  con- 
sideration by  the  Regents,  or  which  in  any  essential  way 
departs  from  the  established  routine  and  methods  of  the 
University.
